This is an excellent discipline for someone looking to get started in martial arts. As it focusses mainly on subduing the opponent, you can first learn to defend yourself before learning how to attack. It is also one of the best martial arts for people looking to learn how to protect themselves in real life situations, where attacking back isn’t as important as survival and escape. As one of the few martial arts that are also Olympic sports, judokas – with a lot of practice – have the unique opportunity to represent their countries in the Olympic Games.
